[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1803088, member: 75933"] load up a ladder test for pressure at .3gr increments starting where you are now up past book max. watch for signs along the way- flat primers, ejector marks etc... when you size the cases, it isn't altogether totally necessary to push the shoulders back to spec. load for the chamber you have instead of what a book says. start with the die a couple turns out and work it down until it just barely touches the shoulder. after that size, check for ease of chambering. if it chambers ok, stop there. if you're setting the shoulder back too far on a case that's already stretching, you could be exaggerating a problem that can be worked with. I find it hard to believe that you're anywhere near maxed out, I load more h4350 with a heavier bullet for the same rifle. [/QUOTE]
